free speech

Anonymous Blogger, free speech should be free, decent Americans don't try to financial sabotage someone because they don't like what they sat. Boycotting is BS, it is pressure to keep people from voicing their opinion, it is not a fair response to free speech. The answer to speech you don't like is more speech, not vindictive financial sabotage aimed at punishing those that dare voice their opinion. You should see what was done to the Dixie Chicks for what it is. We are supposed to be a people that respects free speech, not one that intimidates and pressures people into not voicing their opinion. Working to hurt people by undermining the way they make a living is not respecting free speech. If you want to live as a decent person that understands the principles this country is built on, they you should accept that people will say things you don't agree with. Attempting to silence them by making them wary of voicing an opinion is sick. What is hard to understand about that?
